Posting Letters

Hi all,

I have a card to show you today using one of the lovely Wild Rose Studio Christmas images called ‘Posting Letters’. I am determined to get ahead with my Christmas cards this year and not leave things to the last minute!

 

The La La 'Christmas Tree' die-cut was stamped with one of the gorgeous stamps from the Whimsy 'Lavish Flourishes' stamp set and the sentiment is a Molly Blooms text stamp. All the stamps are currently available in our Spring sale!!!

The papers are Papermania ‘At Christmas Time’ which is such a versatile pack…a range of both contemporary and traditional designs…and great value for money!

Hello, this is Janet here with my first DT card for The Stamp Basket team...in fact, it's my first card ever to appear on Mr Blogger...so I feel more nervous than ever!! The stamps that I have chosen to use in my card are from the new Molly Blooms Christmas Collection. The image, which is called Naughty Nativity, did so make me chuckle when I first saw it and reminded me of Nativity plays past!

The sentiment, which is also from the new Molly Blooms Christmas Collection seemed so apt for this particular image! The paper is from the Papermania "At Christmas Time" pack - a fantastic collection of traditional Christmas papers which also includes 28 die-cut tags perfect for decorating cards or adding a special touch to Christmas gifts! The embellies include Dovecraft adhesive gemstones, natural burlap button twine, a button from the Christmas button mix, Berisfords red and white stitched grosgrain ribbon and the most gorgeous, moss green vintage style ribbon which, I have to say, folds beautifully into bows!

All of these products are available in our online store. If you've not had chance to visit us yet, why not pop across and have a look at what we have on sale!

Despite the rain this morning, I hope you have a lovely day!

Happy crafting,

Janet
